Rachel Bassham Stephens is the founder of KixiMatch, according to the company's own site. KixiMatch, also known as Kixi, is a dating and matchmaking app built around a simple idea. Instead of users swiping on strangers, a person's trusted circle acts as matchmakers who make introductions on their behalf. The app is operated by WLDFLWR LLC and lives at kiximatch.com.

Rachel's work focuses on reshaping how people meet by putting friends and trusted connections at the centre of the process. KixiMatch reflects a view that introductions carry more weight when they come from people who already know you, rather than from an algorithm sorting through unfamiliar profiles.

In building Kixi, Rachel sees an opportunity to turn everyday social circles into a more meaningful part of modern dating.
